Trader Joe's Haul


I got all kinds of goodies this TJ trip - and I only spent about $80 for food for a week! BAM. 

Left to right:
TJ Butter Chicken - best frozen dinner
Fig & Olive Crisps - try it with Brie cheese
TJ Organic Canned Pumpkin - for all kinds of uses!
TJ Crunchy Slaw Salad - one of my all-time favs
Pasadena Salad - excited to try this!
KIND Strong bars - love a savory snack option!

TJ Mandarins - great snack
Greens & Seeds Salad - seemed so fall appropriate with butternut squash and pom seeds
Organic Avocados - great price at 4 for $4
TJ Reduced Guilt Tortilla Chips - for chicken tortilla soup this week
TJ Shredded Mexican Blend - for chicken tortilla soup this week
Organic Limes - for chicken tortilla soup this week
Organic Eggs - they taste the best!



TJ Mozzarella Cheese Sticks - best string cheese of life
TJ Black Beans - for chicken tortilla soup
TJ Triple Ginger Snaps - fav cookie ever
Gorgonzola & Walnut Salad - sounds so good!
Brussel Sprouts - YUM
TJ Chicken Fried Rice - Hubs loves fried rice, thought we'd test it out
Cranberry Apple Butter - don't judge me, had to try it

I did go to Sam's and get our rotisserie chicken and baby spinach but I like mixing it up at the grocery store - going to TJ's usually means that I get pre-made stuff and then I don't have to meal prep my lunches aka I had this Sunday off!

Trader Joe's Haul: Fall Edition!

I love me some Trader Joe's. From their pre-made wraps and salads to their two-buck-chuck, they seem to have it all. At a great price. In cute packaging. And most of it is healthy-ish. Kind of.
Special thanks to my cat, Chloe, for modeling all of our food finds.


I was looking for some quick things for my meals this week, since I didn't have all day Sunday to prep. I had to get these pumpkin greek yogurts. The moment I spotted them, I knew it was on. They were not too sweet and really good! Would definitely repurchase.



Then I got a couple of salads! I love most of their salads - these were on the lower end of the calorie spectrum with a decent amount of protein.


Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte went immediately into my cart as well, upon spotting it. I have not tried this yet but think it sounds like a yummy addition in my green protein smoothies!


Hubs picked out some of the rice noodle bowls, since they were GF as well. I think he legit misses ramen noodle cups - hope this hits the spot for him! (He also picked out up GF Chocolate Cupcakes!)


Last, but not least, I picked up a bag of Turkey Meatballs from the frozen section. Seemed like a great thing to have on hand for last minute snack (protein/fat) or to make a meal from. Can't wait to try them and let you know!



Do you also love buying things that you mostly do not need whatsoever at TJ's?!
